2022 Campos de Luz Garnacha, Ebro Valley

From Spain’s Ebro Valley, where rugged hills and sun drenched vineyards shape bold yet vibrant reds, Campos de Luz offers a generous take on Garnacha that leans into both ripeness and drinkability. Sourced from higher altitude sites where cooler nights help retain freshness, the wine captures the variety’s natural charm while keeping things balanced.

Bright ruby with a soft purple edge, the aromatics are open and inviting. Ripe strawberry, raspberry and red cherry lead, followed by hints of spice, dried herbs and a gentle touch of earth. There is a warmth to the fruit, but it remains lifted rather than heavy.

The palate is juicy and medium bodied, with red berry fruits flowing across soft, supple tannins. A line of freshness keeps everything lively, while subtle spice and a faint savoury edge build through the finish. It is smooth, approachable and very easy to enjoy.

This is a natural fit for relaxed, flavour packed food. Grilled lamb, chorizo, or roasted vegetables with smoked paprika all work beautifully. It also pairs well with casual dishes like pizza or tapas, where its bright fruit can shine.

Best enjoyed in its youth over the next three to five years while that vibrant fruit is at its peak.

There is a laid back, easy going feel here, a Garnacha made for sharing, good food and moments that don’t need too much planning.
